everything externally is the same. so if it's a part you would buy for your car, it will work on your moms car.

in this case...I would use this as an excuse to upgrade my own car first. Then pass down the goodies you currently have onto your moms car. Unless of course you are happy with current setup


quite a few Bullitt guys run the Roush Suspension...or the Ford Racing Parts.

 

well right now shes looking at getting the rear end parts to mirror mine. The adjustable LCAs, UCA and Panhard. She might get a panhard brace as well but from how things are looking probably not. I might also suggest she get the LCA relocation brackets as I can get them in and preped then have a place down the street run a bead on em for practicaly no charge.

 

Thanks Wolfie. I tried to register today but it looks like they have not activated my account. I am not able to post there yet.

JD you might want to hold off on the LCA relocate brackets if you are not going to lower the car. At stock high the LCAs are at the proper angle. With the LCAs at the wrong angle the car will ride like crap. I had to learn this the hard way on a rode trip to Atlanta Ga.

 

Thankx Chub, i definately agree with you. Im not going to be messing with anything that wont give me positive results.Got to have a ride that feels good for the long trip out to Breenspeed for that Supercharger.Its a 24hour drive for me.

 

You're welcome. It can take a couple of days to get registered.

 

See now this makes me wonder about the info where others had determined that the Bullitt was already "leveled" and lowered in the rear. If it is, then the relocation brackets would help the rear end. Couple questions.

What was the issue you had with the handling?

What position were you in on the brackets?

Were yours welded in?

 

The issues I had was not with handling but ride quality. With the LCAs adjusted lower at the rear, the car hit normal bumps pretty hard. The ride quality was worst after I installed the Steeda sport springs with the stock LCAs. With the car lowered with the Steeda sport springs, the stock LCAs will only fit on the bottom hole of the relocate bracket. At this point I was ready to return the car to stock, but I decide to try the BMR LCAs. Now I have the Steeda sport springs, BMR LCAs and BMR relocate bracket with the LCAs at the proper angle and ride quality is back to normal. I hope this makes since, I am at work and I trying to rush so I can get back to work.

 

it makes sense man, I didnt lower mine (the GT) but after the LCAs and UCA were put in my ride was awful, sounds like what you had. I belive the problem was more in the adjustment of your setup then the actual brackets being there. With mine, they didnt center the sperical ends on the LCA's so the sperical ends were maxed to one sids and any jolt in that direction went straight to body. Also, I had a UCA and they didnt really tighten the locker nut VERY tight, so there was a small wiggle in that. Also, the pinion angle is pretty important to ride quality.

Long Story short, I had to measure and adjust in lenth my LCA's to be equal, also had to hold the spherical end while tightening to keep the rod end centered so that it has the most travel to torsion on the end before the rod end maxes and tranmits the force to body. I had to adjust my UCA to attain the proper pinion angle and then make sure it was very, very tight and from there on out, the car felt near stock.

The actual addition of the bracket should not affect ride quality in terms of feel of bumps that much, but more how the suspension reacts under acceleration and torque being applied into the rear end.
